careful experiments which are worth remember

THE triumph of the Democratic
party in the recent elections in New
York, Maryland and Virginia and the
holding of it's own in all the other
States would seem to indicate that
those of us who have seen fit to fling
ont the motto-''Cleveland and
contented country" have not mistaken
the true relation now su5sisting be-
tween a grand President and noble
and appreciative people. The late
elections can but be regarded as an
index of the peoples estimate of ma
1ional affairs, and, viewed in this light.
they tell the future history Of him who
is esteemed the greatest among all the
great since the days Of the immortal
Washington. At no time in our his
tory were the people more thoroughly
contented with the situation Of affairs
in the country and at no time has the
country itself been stronger and more
thoroughly united as to the essential
principles of government. We owe
it to Cleveland and the Democratic
party, che people believe it and in
future as we'll as recent elections they
will freely and effectually declare it.

A WONDERFUL Emperor.
A ENGLlSHMAN's Description OF AN
AUDIENCE WITH FRANZ JOSEF.

The Englishmen who attended this
mornings audience at the palace obta ned
al insight into the methods by which the
emperor of Austria realms such strong
hold over the affections and loyalty of his
subjects. The ante-chamber of the au-
dience room was crowded with generals
and nob'emen who had come to thank his
majesty tor the promotions or decorations.
But minglt d with these were au hors, IN
ventors, professors, widows and orphans
seeking pensions, and a number of very
poor men and women who had petitions
to present. There are few countries in
which persons of this last category would
ever get chance of seeing their sover
eign but in this empire any body who has
anything reasonable to ask of the eG-
peror is sure of an audience. On one or
two days of week his majesty receives

r"ved, and he receives them alone
